Slightly meta comment, but it's amusing the number went from 400 to 700 to 1000 pieces of debris through the article!

- jryle70 2y agoAmusing as in being incorrect? Because the article is pretty clear about the context of those numbers. This is not the first time it happened to Long March 6 which only flew for the first time in 2022. China is aware the 2nd stage is explosion prone, yet continue to use it. That's a pretty cavalier attitude with regards to reducing space debris.
